This tutorial teaches the analysis behind a go/no-go record without asking you to perform the task. You will align a neutral cue sequence with a fictional response log, mark responses made when the record says withhold, mark missing responses when the record says respond, calculate both error types separately and write a narrow conclusion. You will not practise inhibition or use the result to judge a person.
This dossier explains the evidence and its limits. It is not a diagnosis, personal recommendation, assessment, clearance, performance promise or training programme. Actionable teaching appears only when the canonical Power record explicitly authorises it.
Complete bounded explanation
What this power means.
Capability to develop or express inhibitory control in a declared context without inheriting broader claims.
What the current evidence supports
People improve on practiced inhibition tasks, but current controlled evidence does not establish a transferable inhibitory-control capability.
How to observe or measure it without overclaiming
Stroop cost, commission errors and stop-signal latency are task-specific research measures; none establishes character, diagnosis or real-world impulse control.
Myth
Install stronger willpower
Metric
Performance on distinct inhibition tasks plus a predeclared life outcome
Boundary
Practice effects cannot establish transferable self-control.
Negative and limiting findings
Adaptive inhibition training failed to outperform active controls at post-test or follow-up and produced no near or far transfer.
Claims this evidence cannot support
Build unbreakable willpower
Cure impulsivity with a game
Measure moral self-control
Train your brain to say no

How to learn this Power now.
This tutorial teaches the analysis behind a go/no-go record without asking you to perform the task. You will align a neutral cue sequence with a fictional response log, mark responses made when the record says withhold, mark missing responses when the record says respond, calculate both error types separately and write a narrow conclusion. You will not practise inhibition or use the result to judge a person.
Frame the questionState the capability claim narrowly enough that evidence could support or limit it.
Map the evidenceDistinguish existence, measurement, trainability, retention, transfer, safety and functional value.
Find uncertaintyIdentify small samples, proxy measures, missing controls, null findings and unresolved authority questions.
Compare alternativesConsider competing explanations and what evidence would change the current treatment.
Stay non-operationalUse the record for research literacy only until a separate gate authorises instruction.
Authority boundary: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. The method is Power-specific; its actionability follows this treatment.
Citation roles are explicit. A source may support existence or trainability while simultaneously limiting transfer, certainty, generalisation or safety.

Current teaching and evidence boundary
The next gate remains visible.
No external confirmation is required for the current bounded explainer permission. Guide permission remains not ready; any guide, stronger efficacy, generalisation, protocol, promotion or independent-validation claim requires a new adjudication.
A complete governed research tutorial is available at /tutorials/pwr-100/. It supplies a fictional record-analysis method, worked example, corrections, delayed review and evidence boundary. It does not authorise capability self-practice.
